David E. Quinlan, age 75, of Erie, PA., passed away on Thursday, March 3, 2022. He was born on August 25, 1946, a son of the late John and Agnes Schumacher Quinlan.
David had a love for life and the gift of gab. He enjoyed talking with everyone and telling stories of “back in the day”. He loved celebrating his Irish heritage and enjoyed attending the Irish Festival every year. David’s love for his family was unmatched. He would do anything to help anyone in need. Especially for “his girls”. He was an animal lover and took in rescues whenever able too.

He is survived by his wife Judith Quinlan, his daughter Colleen Quinlan, granddaughters Chyanne Rodriguez and Kaiyah Quinlan, his sister Marjorie Scutella, and sister-in-law Lucinda Quinlan.
